Waiting For The News To Come Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
Waiting For The News To Come
waiting for the news to come of where to go or why or how
is easy for no one to bear especially those who have had
their share of waiting, balancing on a beam not even there
and waiting for what, the axe or the angel
to come floating down with good tidings
warm food, the Deluge
your own door in Heaven if not on earth.
you could explore infinities while waiting
the infinitesimal worlds
in the lobbies, the gutters, the basements of the in between
you're living in a dream to keep on living at all
and you wonder
how long can this go on
how long will I my children or the ones I haven't got
at least the sky will continue
you take comfort there.
they can't evict the air.

To live in a dream is a special way of waiting; to balance on an imaginary beam puts great weight on your shoulders; to wonder about fates of (un) born children is selfless prayer; to take comfort in the sky opens one's lungs to special air.
